"THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALIVE IF YOU CANT DO DEADLIFT!" - Most powerful statement ever

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

In static strength both Geoff Capes and Tom Magee were on next level than Jon Pall, Kazmaier was way above than Magee and Capes just that he was not allowed to compete in WSM after his hatrick. This is not a proper deadlift, and Jon Pall just knows the trick i.e sliding his legs which makes it even shorter and simpler. Imho it shouldn't have been allowed. But Jon Pall was given a green card for everthing back then, OD Wilson's victory was snatched and gifted to him for the shameless racist apartheid rants.

Jon pall had flawless form and it looked like he lifted with his legs!? which is really hard to do but it minimizes preasure to the lower back. Truly he was The Viking, someone should write his Saga.

You can see clearly that Kazmaier didn't lock out his knees. Jón Páll was the winner. Don't forget that Kazmaier never won against Jón Páll, that says alot about Jón Páll's strenght!

[@blugi3]

But Jon Pall never faced a fully fit Kazmaier in his prime. I think Kazmaier would of won 83,84,85 and maybe even 86, had he actually been allowed to compete. Jon Pall only ever beat him when he was injured and past best, and that’s a fact.

JPS at his best condition here. In this condition, he would have absolutely no problem competing with today's competitors

[@Mr537James]

Around 1983 Jon Pall deadlifted the European record of 370. This was when he was still young to the sport. If Jon Pall were to do a normal barbell deadlift in 1987 ( his prime ) I'm 100% sure he would've been a 400-410 kg man. If not breaking Kaz's world record. You can see this was his strongest year, JPS physique looks so much more "static strength" in this competition.

[@leescammell9988]

Mr537James doubt it. this isn't a deadlift here, he's sliding his thighs down the wood so the lift starts close to his hips while already leaning back. more like a quarter-squat than a deadlift. at '88 WSM Kaz easily beat Jon-Pall in a more proper deadlift from lower down beneath the knees and JPS felt the need to try and pull it sumo-style to get an edge

[@harfwajna3471]

Jon Pall Sigmarsson improved his deadlift from 370 kg on a standard bar to 470 kg in the gym. Kazmaier who did 402 KG in competition thought this event is his. Granted, not a standard bar but Sigmarrson had more in the reserves that he did one extra easily. Unfortunately, the deadlift was his own downfall as he passed out then passed away after a heavy deadlift session.

[@TYKKETYKKE]

Bill Kazmaier didn't lock out for the last 3 attempts. Jon Pall definetely was the strongest, he locked out on all attempts.

I will agree with you on that one, I will also say though that Kazmier is the best strongman announcer ever, he really gets into the competition and makes it that much more interesting to watch, Why can't IFSA have him instead of boring Jamie Reeves?

[@tpsgoga1968]

when he was 33, he found out he couldn't do deadlifts anymore

[@stinkypinky6148]

Jon Paul slides his legs under the bar greatly increasing his ability to lift it. Kaz was not doing that and I believe if he had figured that out he would have went a lot higher in weight

[@Rhulken]

thats why people tend to do the same weight in squat and deadlift....

[@FGGWHELL]

He would have been even stronger today since products are always getting better

[@gumundurbirgisson5485]

do you notice that jon pall is really squatting the weight

[@b_rabbit435]

Jon Pall at 130 kg bodyweight just managed to get his bodyweight + 400 kg more off the ground, while you today got 180 kg powerlifters & strongmen who can't even get 500 kg to move off the floor.

[@jp1979]

They screwed Kaz on that 1077lbs he had it in the air and locked for almost 5 seconds, he even asked the ref "What do you want mate?" he actually lifted the 1077 better than Jon Pall did

If people cant even deadlift that today you think they could 33 years ago? most strongmen and powerlifters cant even get 500kg to move off the floor so this is VERY impressive even in todays top standards. Jon Pall also weighted about 130kg here while you got 180 kg dudes today who cant even get that weight a cm off the floor.
